The Elementary Christmas Program is coming soon on Thursday, December 6^th at 1pm and 7pm.  All students in grades 1-5 are involved.  For the costume, this year all children in 1^st-5^th grade will wear pajamas (or pajama-like outfits, such as sweatpants and a t-shirt.)  There is no need to purchase pajamas for the program--they do not have to be Christmas-themed or anything special.  Christmas-themed is ok, but NOT required.  Regular school shoes or hard-sole slippers are fine.  Since the children will have to walk outside to get to the auditorium, regular slippers are not allowed.  Students will wear their pajamas on December 6^th for the 1pm and 7pm shows.

PLEASE label with child’s name- all outerwear items and lunchboxes. Please check the Lost and Found rack in the elementary hallway if you are missing something.
